Thanks for the information. This is solved now. Kind Regards!

Hello all, I have a little question about my server combined with setting it to sleep. So I’ve got my unraid server to go to sleep without issue. Dockers run on cache, array is spun down, my server goes to sleep. What I would like to know is if I can keep the dockers running while the server is asleep? I know that it sounds like it shouldn’t be possible but maybe I just haven’t found out how to make it work. Thanks in advance. PS. If this isn't the right category, I hope the mods/admins will move it to the right one.

Solution was that the cable plugged in from the Fritzbox wasn't properly connected to the first switch. I jerked a little at the cable because I saw it was plugged in but the port was not blinking. Then it blinked again, seemed that the connection wasn't good. Though tested the LAN cable with my new apparatus, and the cable was ok. Thanks for helping me through this one!

Thanks guys, when it is delivered I am going to test with it. Hope that I can see quickly which cable it is, because we have a lot of LAN cables here connected...

Okay, thanks: Then I am going to try that. Luckily I already had one cable tester underway. Something like this, right?

First I think that one of the cables is broken cause most of the switches their port give me 100 Mbps speed in my router. But how do I find out which cable is broken? Is there any quick way to tell? Because we have here 4 switches between the router and the unRAID server (3* 5-port and 1* 8 port swtches). That is because I have a lot of LAN devices here.

Yup, multiple. But they are all gigabit switches.

Sorry but what do you mean with Must be something further along? I am a little autistic, so I do not understand your message... It is too comprehensive for me to understand right away what you are saying.

Hereby the log, but I just started my server cause I moved it back to it's original place. So I'll post it now, but let me know if you like a bigger log, then we need to wait some more. I thought maybe in an other room the 1000 Mbps will work, but nope still my fritzbox and my server give me 100 Mbps. rik-tower-diagnostics-20240105-1608.zip

I tried with different cables but nothing seems to make a difference. Still unknown status with trying different ports, as we have here in the house between the router and the unRAID server 2 or 3 network switches. All the switches are all gigabit switches, so can that still be the culprit? As they are 1000 Mbps... That's my conclusion with my limited knowledge. Please, correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks for replying so fast @itimpi!

Hi all, I am not much into networking. But 10 minutes ago, I did a speedtest on my unRAID server with different docker containers as well via a VM without VPN. Those speeds were continuous about 80 Mbps, or 10MB/s. I also noticed in my modem/router, my Fritz box, that my unRAID server is connected via a 100 Mbps connection although I have everything wired up with Cat 5e cables and gigabit switches. My internet connection at home is 500/500 Mbps via fiber, and I get close to those speeds with my normal PC. So what can I do to get higher speeds on my unRAID server? And what kind of info do you guys need more to inform me about this? I hope you'll tech savvies can help me out with this matter. Kind Regards, Rik

Hi @manrw, Here I've attached the full log of the slskd docker in txt format. It doesn't say much, to me, but maybe to you it is a lot clearer. I hope you can help me out with this one, I would love to use Slsdk via Unraid. Kind Regards! log_slskd.txt

The weird thing is that is stops so quickly after starting, I don't have the chance to check in the console. I know that the dockers connectivity is the issue, cause when on bridge without VPN it is working. But what is wrong with the config, I mean other dockers do work while routed through Gluetun. What can I do to change the dns? And where. Sorry for all the questions but I'm a beginner using docker.

Hi @manrw, I have a question about routing traffic through another container while using slskd. Because I live in the Netherlands, I would like to route that docker through a VPN container. In my opinion I routed it just like other apps with "--net=container:GluetunVPN" as Extra argument. But still, that doesnt work for me. I get the following error(s): [07:27:14 WRN] Failed to check version: Failed to retrieve latest release version from GitHub: Resource temporarily unavailable (api.github.com:443) [07:27:14 FTL] Application terminated unexpectedly Soulseek.AddressException: Failed to resolve address '': Resource temporarily unavailable ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (00000001, 11): Resource temporarily unavailable Is it possible at all to route the traffic of slskd through a VPN container, and is it really needed here? Hope to hear from you. Thanks in advance!

That is indeed what I meant. Sorry for being so unclear, but you understood it. I will connect for the first time 2 cables, do I need more devices (because my second tower only houses max. 15 devices I think.) then I'll disconnect one and see for myself if that still gives enough bandwith. So far so good. Thanks again!

And can I use the 2 last ports on the Intel card, as shown on your picture, for cabling to the SAS Adapter 2X Internal SFF-8087 to 2X External SFF-8088 Slot? Because I will use then 4 port on the Intel and just 2 on the sas adapter. Are those 2 ports enough to send through the 4 other disk ports so to speak?

Ah superb, so just screwing the card to the case and then a Molex plug to a psu. Everything looks easier with pictures. Thanks then I'll try to make it like in your picture. If you have more pictures, I would love to receive them, on the forums or via PM.

Sorry I am very unsure and not very known in that world, and I don't have much financial space to make mistakes and so on. That's why I am a little hestitating.... But a Molex plug for a PCIe card? Can you give me a example for what I need then. Because I don't have a second motherboard to plug it into. EDIT: Something like this from the first mobo to the pcie card?

Sorry, but I don't have that. Are that these cables, cause then I understand what you mean with that: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Internal-SFF-8087-Breakout/dp/B012BPLYJC?th=1 Kind Regards. EDIT: And the Intel Card that I'll use, do I put that into a mobo or not, just like this image right. So without plugging it into a motherboard? Just attaching the cables into the card, but not into any motherboard, am I right? (Because it has a connection for a mobo)

Thanks @JorgeB, so those plus the 2 cards makes the complete shopping list, right. And also thanks to Jonathan for being such a great helper!!!! Well in a short while I am going to order these and hopefully I'll get them working! Woohoo. 😁

Guys and girls, hereby a polite shout out te help me further on with this build. I really would like to realize this, but without a good shopping list it won't build itself.... So please help me with the above post. Thanks in advance!!!

I am now trying to make a shopping list. I want to connect another 10 disks So then I need the following stuff on there: LSI SAS 9207-8i (https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/330124/lsi-sas-9207-8i/specificaties/) Intel RAID Expander Card RES2SV240 (https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/339803/intel-raid-expander-card-res2sv240/specificaties/) The LSI comes in my first tower and the Intel in my second tower right? And what cables, besides sata data cables, do I need to hook this up? Thanks again all! I already have this one, Supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8, but it is full with 8 hdds, https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/286496/supermicro-aoc-sas2lp-mv8/specificaties/

Okay, thanks for the information. Is this something I can use? https://maxict.nl/lenovo-ibm-serveraid-m5210-sassata-controller-raid-controller-pci-express-x8-30-12-gbits-p8167460.html?btwview=in It is a sas/sata controller. We only have these in Holland, with SAS. See link: https://tweakers.net/controllers/vergelijken/#filter:PYxBCsIwFETvMusIMSDSHKDgwlWW0kVIv_olNOEndGHJ3ZuCuBrm8WY28LKSVPdO2VGkUDktsE8fCykkmUlGpjjDIgt_Cn7QJamd-RL-JFO4de90Vsj-RY6_BHvR6hgGunO_7aV0beRYSQrsBmPMcOTqI-wDRl81ptbaDg Thanks again!

Hi @JonathanM, sorry for my late reply, it's vacation time here. Is this something you meant, because the 4e's that we have here in Holland, none contain a ASM 1064/1164 chip. I saw this one for about 80 euros: IBM ServeRAID M1115 SAS/SATA controller for IBM system X (81Y4448)... Does that work, in my server? And furthermore I need a SAS expander, any recommendations?

Okay thanks for the information. I think I need a good explanation on a SAS expander, because I really don't know how to functions. So I am going to read https://techtellectual.com/what-is-a-sas-expander/ tomorrow. Still do you know a good 4e card? Then I'll check how I get such a card here to the Netherlands. And can I take any generic internal/external 8088 to 8087 adapter. Or does also that needs to be of a specific brand? And last but not least, how do I get a good switch for turning the second power supply on and off? Because reading your post above, I think I need an external PSU switch or something like that... Thanks again and I wish you a good night (as it is 1:40 AM here) Greetings, Rik
